Chamraua is all set for a multi-cornered contest. However, the main fight is among Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Samajwadi Party (SP) and BJP. Though the BJP candidate from the Rampur Lok Sabha constituency, Nepal Singh had won the seat in 2014 by a margin of 23,435 by defeating his nearest SP rival Naseer Ahmad Khan, the former had trailed behind the latter in the Chamraua assembly segment by 21870 votes. In that election BSP was relegated to the forth position even though the party retains the seat currently.
While BSP has once again reposed faith in its sitting legislator, Naseer Ahmad Khan, who is close to UP minister Azam Khan, will once again enter the fray on behalf of SP in the forthcoming 2017 elections. Mohan Lodhi will be the BJP’s nominee.
